About

Over the past 14+ years, I’ve worked at the intersection of strategy, operations, and digital — helping energy and asset-intensive organizations translate ambition into measurable EBITDA outcomes. My work is anchored in a simple belief: Value is not created by strategy alone. It is realized when strategy, execution, and digital operate as an integrated system. I partner with leadership teams across Energy, Oil & Gas, and infrastructure to: • Design operating models that enable execution at scale • Drive enterprise transformation with clear governance and accountability • Embed digital and AI into core operations — not as overlays, but as value drivers • Optimize asset performance, reliability, and capital efficiency • Align supply chain and logistics with enterprise value objectives The Impact • Delivered ₹250+ Cr EBITDA impact through turnaround, shutdown, and reliability transformation across large industrial complexes • Improved asset reliability by 25% and reduced safety incidents by 30% through AI-enabled operating model redesign • Increased asset availability by 15–20% and reduced unplanned downtime by ~20%, strengthening throughput and margin resilience • Built and led a ₹30+ Cr digital transformation portfolio, aligning investments to risk-adjusted NPV and enterprise value • Led downstream supply chain operations (₹825+ Cr revenue), optimizing multimodal logistics and improving lead times by 18–22% I’m often brought in where the challenge is not lack of ideas — but lack of integration across strategy, execution, and digital. My focus is to structure ambiguity into hypothesis-driven problem solving, executive-ready decisions, and transformation roadmaps that deliver sustained performance improvement. I operate comfortably from boardroom strategy discussions to plant-level execution, combining consulting rigor with operational depth. If you’re working on large-scale transformation, asset performance, or value creation in energy and industrial environments, I’d be glad to exchange perspectives. 📩 careergrowthcatalyst@gmail.com #Energy #Transformation #Digital #Operations #EBITDA #Consulting #ValueCreation #Downstream Oil & Gas
